The no J-hook thing is a detractor for a long-time LW guy. Some folks will say "backpack looped over the main handle," but that's not an optimum alternative for those that have a tote bag of conventional specs that they like. Solutions?

Another concern for somebody looking to exit the LW concept is a lack of numerous external pockets, which I make really practical use of. If all my stuff is buried inside one main compartment, it's going to be a $hi* show if I have to play hide-and-seek anywhere aside from my hotel luggage rack. From car keys to chapstick, glasses, toiletries and medical items to stinky gym pieces, I use those pockets to segregate and organize in a manner I could not otherwise, and to have handy reach of said items when not on a layover. If you've never had 6 to 8 external pockets of various capacity, one big-a$$ trunk is probably fine, but I rely heavily on the pockets. Any former LW folks that have successfully weened off pocket reliance out there?
